Although some of the shells missed the target, they bounced off the ground and hit the auxiliary soldiers behind the shield vehicle, killing a dozen unlucky auxiliary soldiers.
With a single salvo, more than 80 Tatar soldiers under the city wall lost their combat effectiveness, and most of these soldiers were elite infantry and vests. The Qing generals under the Zhijin Dragon Banner suddenly became commotion. Li Zhi looked over with a telescope
, seeing the generals of the Qing army gathered together and discussing, they seemed very sad for the sacrifice of the warriors in front of them.
But the slaughter has just begun.
Another horn sounded on the city wall, and another twenty-two cannons roared, bombarding the shield car parked 150 meters away.
This time, the eleven artillery pieces hit the target. The shells hit the shield car, and the shield car seemed to bloom, and countless wooden blocks flew out at the impact point. These densely flying wooden blocks were as fast as knives, harvesting
The lives of elite Tatars inside the shield car.
Once the neck is cut, life will be lost immediately.
Even if you are lucky enough not to be cut on the neck or head by the wood chips, but if you are cut by these wood pieces on your hands and legs, you will still bleed profusely. These broken pieces of wood penetrate into the body and are difficult to remove. Once the wound is pulled, the wood pieces will remain in the flesh.
Continue to cut the skin and flesh, causing greater trauma than the wound.
What's more, the shell itself has powerful destructive power. The six-pounder cannon pierced one or two layers of soldiers' bodies before stopping on the ground. The shell of the eighteen-pounder cannon was like an unrivaled god of death, smashing into pieces.
All obstacles in his way turned the Tatar flesh on the third and fourth floors of the shield car into a pulp of blood and flesh.
Before the auxiliary soldiers of the Qing army poured a load of earth into the pit, the elite soldiers in the shield car had already suffered two head-on attacks. More than 160 Tatars were killed or wounded, and they lost their combat effectiveness.
And the third salvo came immediately.
Another twenty-two cannons fired in unison, and in the thick black fog the cannons fired shells towards the shield car a hundred steps away.
How can the shield car have any defensive role in front of the artillery? It is simply a weapon to amplify the power of the artillery! The shells penetrated the wet quilts and the two-inch-thick wooden boards, and smashed the defensive wooden boards into flying pieces of wood.
Stabbed into the head, face and neck of the infantry and vest, stabbing these Jianzhou Tatars who had killed countless people to the ground.
The bouncing shells frightened the Qing troops in the rear row. As soon as the shells sounded, they fled out of the shield car and stood outside the shield car.
Li Zhi raised his telescope and looked under the Zhijin Dragon Banner. He saw that dozens of Tatar leaders could no longer stand. They gathered at the big leader in the middle and said something. The big leader in the middle was probably Yangu Li. He said nothing.
He seemed to be still thinking about the situation on the battlefield.
After three volleys were fired, Li Zhi's artillerymen began to push the artillery cart back to its original position and clean the gun barrels. The battlefield became quiet for a while. Seeing that the artillery at the top of the city no longer fired, the horsemen and infantrymen operating the shield cart also stopped.
They hid back in the shield car.
The followers and auxiliary soldiers behind the shield cart took the time to load the carts with earth, trying to fill up the holes and trenches at the level 150 meters above. The Tatars did not know the level of artillery on the city wall, and thought that Li Zhi's
The soldiers took a long time to reload, and they imagined they could fill the holes in the intervening time.
However, after only a minute, their illusions were shattered. The auxiliary soldiers had not filled one-tenth of the hole, and the artillery on the city wall had already loaded the shells and began the second round of firing.
The smoke had dissipated, and the artillerymen could take aim calmly - another twenty-two rounds of artillery shells broke through the air and hit the one hundred shield trucks parked in front of the hole. A piece of sawdust was flying, and more than a dozen artillery trucks were hit.
, screams came from the broken shield vehicles.
These hit shield vehicles were instantly filled with blood and flesh, and the front half of the interior of the shield vehicles was sprayed with a layer of blood and dyed red. The blood kept coming from the wounds cut by the wood chips and the broken flesh from the shells.
It spurted out from under the shield car and flowed to the outside of the shield car.
When had the Tatars ever seen such a powerful shelling? Seeing the warriors being killed by cannons in the shield car, they no longer had the will to fight, so they turned around and tried to escape.
The White Armed Forces behind the cavalry did not allow them to escape. The White Armed Arms roamed behind the line and shot arrows. The arrows pierced the vital points viciously, killing those cavalry and infantry who escaped from the shield chariot on the battlefield.
The horsemen and infantry found that there was no way to survive if they retreated, so they had to get back into the shield car.
As soon as the shocked Tatars returned to the shield car, twenty-two more artillery shells flew, and the shells knocked open thirteen more shield cars. The shield cars were like cans opened by iron pliers.
It was broken and had no temper.
In just one or two minutes, the city's artillery fired five volleys, and more than sixty shield carts were blown apart. The dancing wood fragments and ferocious shells slaughtered the horse armor and infantry in the shield carts, leaving four hundred
Yu Tarzi was either dead or injured and withdrew from the battle.
If the Tatars were very confident that they could easily capture Fanjiazhuang when they massacred the people of Ming Dynasty, now these Tatars have lost the confidence to win. How come there are so many cannons in this small city? Capture this city,
How many corpses of warriors should be laid under the city wall?
Finally, the Tatar leader Yanguli realized the fierceness of the artillery on the city wall, no longer forced the horse and infantry to hold on to the shield car, and paid gold to withdraw his troops.
Hearing the horn sound of withdrawing troops, the elite Tatars who were holding on to the shield car were relieved, and they all fled to the rear, retreating from the front like a tide.
The sixth volley of artillery was aimed at the fleeing Tatars. Twenty-two shells roared towards the moving targets.
When the Tatars heard the sound of shelling on the city wall, they ran around holding their heads, fearing that they would be touched by the shells. Twenty-two shells fell on the ground, bounced up again, and bounced on the ground.
Twenty-two straight lines of death were drawn in the sub-team. Although the results of this salvo were not as great as those of the bombing of the shield car, the twenty-two shells also killed more than thirty Tatars.
After two rounds of six shellings, more than 300 Tatars were killed and more than 100 were seriously injured and left on the battlefield, resulting in heavy losses.
The Tatars who had withdrawn from the shield car hid in the camp, no longer daring to approach the city wall easily. The golden dragon's banner followed the retreating Qing army into the camp, and led the entire Qing army back to the camp.
.
In the next half day, the Qing army did not send any soldiers to attack Fanjiazhuang City except for cavalry scouts.
The first stop was successful, and Fanjiazhuang was filled with joy.
Under the threat of artillery, a hundred soldiers from the Selective Front Group went out of the city to clean up the battlefield before dark - cutting off the heads of the Tatars and applying wounds to the seriously injured Tatars. These soldiers hated the ferocious Tatars.
When I was killing the Tatars with a last-ditch blow, I was very excited. I stabbed him with one knife after another, howling.
After obtaining more than 400 Tatar heads, Li Zhi had these heads salted and placed in front of the city gate for public display. These heads made the atmosphere in the city much more relaxed. The people began to believe that the Tatar soldiers could defend the city and were defeated by the Qing army.
The fear of soldiers sieging the city has subsided a lot.
The people have been working together for a month, but now there are deer antlers and horses everywhere under the city wall. It is not easy for the Tatars to get close to the city wall. There are rolling stones and wood piled on the city wall, and gold juice is burned. If the Tatars want to climb the city wall, they must
Use corpses to pile up. The people all know that Fanjiazhuang is a fortified city at this time and is not easy to capture.
